Seizures in Dogs – Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment | Southeast Veterinary Neurology
A seizure is an abnormal burst of electrical activity in the brain. The cells that make up the brain, neurons, communicate with each other using electrical signals.
My aging lab was on Proin for incontinence. After two months on this drug she had a grand mal seizure. Prior to this I noticed muscle twitching, excessive thirst and agitation. People should be WARNED about this! She is back to incontinence but is still alive and not having symptoms that are far worse than the occasional incontinence.
My dog is a 2 yr old beagle and he has been having cluster seizures for the past 3 months every two weeks. He has about 4-5 seizures within about 2 hours. He is on generic Keppra 500 mg every 8 hrs and zonisamide 150 mg every twelve but doesn't seem to really help. We give him a syringe of valium after his 3 third seizure. Is Phenobarbital a better medication to ask our vet about. I have done all the research I can but I just worried we aren't going to get this under control. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
